at room temperature. (I buy mine at Whole Foods and it's expensive but worth it).
2 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 500, yes 500 degrees!
Place the beef on a baking sheet and pat the outside dry with a paper towel.
Spread the butter on with your hands.
Sprinkle evenly on all sides with salt and pepper.
Roast in the oven for exactly 22 minutes for rare and 25 minutes for medium rare.
(We do 25 minutes and not a second longer).
Remove the beef from the oven, cover it tightly with aluminum foil, and allow it to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Remove the strings and slice the filet thickly.
*I serve it with blue cheese butter (Grandson's fave) to place on top, recipe to follow.
